Given -
- m∠R = (11y)°
- m∠S = (3x + 5)°
- m∠T = (7y)°
- m∠U = (3x - 5)°
To find -
(nullifying x and y)
Explanation -
As we know this is a cyclic quadrilateral and it's either pair of the opposite angles sum up to 180°.
Therefore,
m∠S + m∠U = 180° ---(1)
m∠R + m∠T = 180° ---(2)
Solution -
Substituting the values of the measure of angles in (1)
➜ m∠S + m∠U = 180°
➜ (3x + 5)° + (3x - 5)° = 180°
➜ 6x = 180°
➜ x = 180/6
➜ x = 30
Therefore, m∠S = (3x + 5)° = {3(30)+5}° = (90+5)°
m∠S = 95°
Substituting the values of the measure of angles in (2)
➜ m∠R + m∠T = 180°
➜ (11y)° + (7y)° = 180°
➜ 18y = 180°
➜ y = 180/18
➜ y = 10
Therefore, m∠R = (11y)° = (11×10)° = 110°
